__rte_alloc_size is mapped to compiler alloc_size attribute.
Quoting gcc documentation:
"""
alloc_size
The alloc_size attribute is used to tell the compiler that the
function return value points to memory, where the size is given by
one or two of the functions parameters. GCC uses this information
to improve the correctness of __builtin_object_size.
The function parameter(s) denoting the allocated size are specified
by one or two integer arguments supplied to the attribute.
The allocated size is either the value of the single function
argument specified or the product of the two function arguments
specified. Argument numbering starts at one.
"""
In rte_realloc_socket case, only 'size' matters.
Note: this has been spotted by Maxime trying to use rte_realloc_socket
and compiling with gcc 11.
